Frequently Asked Questions
-
Life In Voices helps families preserve the life stories of the people they love through voice recordings.
Each week, your loved one receives a meaningful question by email and simply clicks a button to record their answer. Over time, these recordings become a collection of personal memories, reflections, and life lessons — captured in their own voice.
After a year, you’ll have 52 recordings: a priceless audio legacy your family can return to for generations.
